Bombed FSOA, where to go from here?

Took the FSOA yesterday for the first time and scored a 4.5, passing no parts. This was my third cycle. I scored 167 and 178 on the FSOT when it was scored but likely did not advance due to weak personal narratives. I truly believe I am sufficient in many aspects and would succeed as an FSO but my nerves and relative lack of life experience brought me down.

My question is where do I go from here? Sign back up for the October FSOT? Wait to gain life experience? I am dedicated to earning my spot but not sure where to go from here with such a poor OA result. Feels like I need to start from scratch.
